Check this movie out, it is hilarious, and I do a tons of fx, artwork and design work on it as well. One scene has a cameo by my wife, daughter and myself . You'll know it by the following scene which is filled with my art. I also play the voice of a very meaty creature seen early on.Please check this movie out!Here is a brief synopsis from IMDB..."A new street drug that sends its users across time and dimensions has one drawback: some people return as no longer human. Can two college dropouts save humankind from this silent, otherworldly invasion?" Stars: Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes and Paul Giamatti
